10 things to "beam" with your Palm

Why fiddle with the small numeric pad on your mobile phone when you can write?

Yes, if you have an IR-enabled phone, you can use your Palm to send Short Message Service (SMS) messages to your friends. All you have to do is write your messages in your Palm and send them off with a simple tap of the button. Those with gigantic fingers can now rejoice.

What you need is a program like MonkeyMessenger or funSMS. These are software that lets you send and receive SMS messages through your phone via the Palm.

If you need a more powerful program, try GSMtool. It not only allows you to send SMS, the program can receive and archive your messages as Memo Pad files on your handheld. Plus, GSMtool has neat features that let you archive your phonebook and dial phone numbers from your Palm to your mobile via IrDA.
